Hollywoodbets Kenilworth hosts a competitive midweek card on Tuesday, likely to be run on a soft track. With two minor feature races topping the bill and several intriguing betting opportunities, racing fans should be in for an entertaining afternoon.
In the Winter Mile (Race 7), Please Be True looks the horse to beat. Since returning from a break, he has steadily improved, following a promising sprint comeback with a strong second to Chasingtherainbow over 1400m. Now 2kg better off with that rival and partnered by Muzi Yeni, he appears ready to return to the winner’s enclosure.
Major Master is another on the rise after defeating the consistent Boogiefied last time and should be competitive at feature level. Chasingtherainbow, who gave trainer Rob Barrett his first winner after taking out his licence, arrives in top form despite a tougher weight assignment.
The supporting Winter Sprint sees The Us Of A hold strong claims. His recent second to Café Culture reads exceptionally well, and his trademark turn of foot makes him a major contender under Richard Fourie. All The Rage, a talented three-year-old returning from a break, could emerge as the biggest danger, while Dance Variety remains difficult to assess.
Earlier on the card, Jewel Mule (Race 1) should improve on a promising debut, while Saratoga Sunrise (Race 2) appeals after catching the eye late on debut. Mente Et Manu gets the nod in Race 3, although Handsome Prince and returning Miami Summer warrant respect.
Miss Attitude can reward consistency in Race 4, while Black Cheetah may find a suitable opportunity in Race 5 despite a tricky draw. Super Viking looks ready to break through in Race 8 after a narrow defeat last time.
The final race could belong to Apricity, who relishes soft ground and has been knocking on the door in recent starts.
